What is recorded here

You crawl through a broken roof into a long stone chamber under a Galway rath, then find a narrow creep blocking the path to another room. The passage stretches beyond sixteen metres, but its full shape remains hidden behind collapsed walls and dirt. People may have built it to store treasure, hide from storms or perform rituals, yet the stones offer no final answer.

Within the NW quadrant of a rath (GA095-125----). This drystone-built Man-made underground passage (L >16.4m) consists of two/three chambers and a creep. The 1st chamber (L 8.2m; Wth 1.8m; H 1.65m) runs NW-SE. Access is gained through a breach in the roof at SE. From the breach the chamber extends for 6.6m to the NW. It continues for a further 1.6m to the SE as a shallow depression. A partially blocked creep (H 0.6m; Wth 0.52m; accessible L 1.16m), running at a right angle to this chamber, is evident at the N end of the E side-wall. It suggests the presence of another chamber. Some 9.8m NW of the 'entrance' to the 1st chamber another modern breach gives access to the 2nd chamber (L 6.6m; Wth 1.6m) which runs N-S. Again from the point of entry the chamber survives intact to the N for a length of 5.4m; a depression at S indicates its continuance for a further 1.2m.
